looks that way.

has anyone got any hints or tips of ways to get the flywheel off at the moment it is only me and i have tigned up the puller as much as i can on my own (as the engine is out it keeps rocking arround even with a foot on it) would i still be able to get it futher on my own or do i need to get somone to help me?

Hi,
Smack the end of the puller center bolt with a hammer. Tighten it some more, repeat until the flywheel comes off with a bang. You have undone the big bolt in the flywheel a couple of turns haven't you?

the bolt isnt in there, should i put it back in and try it that way? the only thing with doing that would be it would tighten the bold back up anyway because of the friction...

yes, most pullers will fuck up the flywheel bolt thread in the crank if used without the bolt in place (suitably loosened of course)

good luck, i find vertos are awful to remove, usually resort to cutting them off

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

It can help to get a good powerfull blow torch on the flywheel.

i managed to get the fly off the blue engine on my own was a peice of piss, after 35 mins of slowly tightening the puller for the red engine i left it taped it with the breaker bar when i moved passed got passed nd it shot off the side lol so both off now :) cheers for the help
